Zaburi 24

1 Nchi ni ya Yahwe, na vyote viijazavyo, dunia, na wote wakaao ndani yake.

On the first day of the week, a psalm for David. The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof: the world, and all they that dwell therein.

2 Kwa kuwa yeye aliianzisha juu ya bahari na kuiimarisha juu ya mito.

For he hath founded it upon the seas; and hath prepared it upon the rivers.

3 Ni nani atakaye panda mlima wa Yahwe? Ni nani atakaye simama patakatifu pake?

Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: or who shall stand in his holy place?

4 Yeye ambaye ana mikono misafi na moyo safi; ambaye hajauinua uongo, na haja apa kiapo ili kudanganya.

The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, who hath not taken his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.

5 Yeye atapokea baraka kutoka kwa Yahwe na haki kutoka kwa Mungu wa wokovu wake.

He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.

6 Kizazi cha wale wamtafutao Mungu ni kama hiki, wale ambao wanautafuta uso wa Mungu wa Yakobo.

This is the generation of them that seek him, of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.

7 Inueni vichwa vyenu, ninyi malango; muinuliwe juu, milango ya milango ya kudumu, ili kwamba Mfalme wa utukufu aweze kuingia!

Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.

8 Huyu Mfalme wa utukufu ni nani? Yahwe, mwenye nguvu na uweza; Yahwe, mwenye uweza katika vita.

Who is this King of Glory? the Lord who is strong and mighty: the Lord mighty in battle.

9 Inueni vichwa vyenu, ninyi malango; muinuliwe juu, milango ya kudumu, ili kwamba Mfalme wa utukufu aweze kuingia!

Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.

10 Huyu Mfalme wa utukufu ni nani? Yahwe wa majeshi, yeye ni Mfalme wa utukufu.

Who is this King of Glory? the Lord of hosts, he is the King of Glory.
